Marquette The Heart Attack Maker

West Allis Central, huh? Hale's nicer.



Marquette wins 3 straight on the road cementing a spot in tournament, I think. Considering the lack of depth and inside game, it's been a great season for Buzz and co. I didn't have much faith when they announced the hiring but he's proven me wrong. He'll probably be handicapped getting a good big man but it'd be nice if they could find a Robert Jackson or Scott Merritt. Hard to believe the local schools don't have any good bigs. Bo'll always get the farm boys of Wisconsin. Milwaukee is scary, you know. Anyway, great season by the Warriors regardless of how it plays out the remainder of the way.



A split against the 'Ville and the resurgent Notre Dame gets you 20 wins in a "rebuilding" year. And I predict Pittino won't be back in Louisville next year.

Last Day O'February

Wow, what an exciting morning at West Allis Central High School watching a dance competition. Last time I was there I spent the second half of our sectional sitting between the principal and superintendent after spraying silly string all over his wife's fur coat. An hour and an apology letter later I was of the hook. As for yesterday's games here's how we are looking

Out
Virginia Tech - 4 game losing streak and bad SOS will do that
Rhode Island - now's not the time to slip and you be slipping
Illinois - 75 RPI won't get you in no matter what your conference schedule is

In
Notre Dame - peaking without Harangody. Imagine with him
Dayton - has more to do with who lost when what they did
San Diego State - see Dayton

Bubble Pop!
Louisiana Tech - I shouldn't have been watching them anyway
Portland - same as LT
VCU - lost there last chance against Old Dominion

How bout them Golden Warriors today!

Why I Never Feel Comfortable Until The Buzzer

Whoa, whoa, whoa on the "energy" sponsor

Case specials available.

Energy Sponsor

This year's energy sponsor is going to be 5 Hour Energy. After last years 6 Hour Power adventure we'll be going back to the 5 Hour Energy. I hold 6 Hour Power responsible for my state last year on Friday evening. It was obviously a bad product and had nothing to do with the fact that I drank 3 of them in a 8 hour period.

Friday Update

The only movement involves Auto-Bids in the SoCon and Atlantic Sun. I know Demski's a big follower of the A-Sun so he'll be happy

In
Jacksonville - the Dolphins leap frog the Campbell Camels for the chance to lose to Kentucky in the first round
Wofford - Now leading the SoCon, and RPI in the 80's ain't that bad

Out
Campbell - meh
College of Charleston - beating UNC wasn't that big of a deal I guess
